A fine example of Hindu Muslim brotherhood can be seen and experienced in Bihar's Sitamarhi district where Muslims and Hindus together constructed a temple dedicated to Lord Shiva.
Villagers of both the communities were working jointly for the construction of the temple."The construction of the temple will strengthen harmony between the two communities and pave the way for greater cooperation in future,".
Muslims comprise around 16 percent of the 105 million people of Bihar. Just months ago, Muslims observing Ramadan helped in the construction of a Jain temple in Bhagalpur town in the state. Mohammad Janeshar Akhtar even demolished a portion of his house in Bhagalpur to enable the movement of a 70 foot truck laden with a granite stone block meant for an idol in the temple. Other Muslims had helped widen the street so that the vehicle could reach the temple without difficulty.
Earlier this year, some Muslims had helped in building a Hindu temple dedicated to goddess Durga in Bihar's Gaya district. Muslims there not only donated money but engaged in the actual construction of the temple. Earlier, a Muslim had donated land for a temple dedicated to god Shiva in Begusarai district.
Mohammad Fakhrool Islam had given his land for the temple in the Muslim dominated Bachwara village.
